Monster Hunter Wilds King of a Faraway Sky start and end dates
King of a Faraway Sky is a special event quest inMonster Hunter Wildsthat will run from April 8 to April 15, 7pm ET.
This gives you just one week to clear the quest and get all the materials you need from it. The good news is the quest itself isn’t particularly long, though it can be a little challenging. You’ll be focusing on farming Tempered Guardian Rathalos in this quest, and it may take you a few tries before you’re able to farm it efficiently.
How to start King of a Faraway Sky
First off, you need to be at HR 31 to even start King of a Faraway Sky. This means you need to have completed theMonster Hunter Wildscampaign and also complete enough High Rank quests in the post-game section to reach HR 31.
Once you’ve hit that requirement, speak with Alma at any Base Camp or open the Quest Counter menu from the tent, then select the Event Quests tab. From here, you should see King of a Faraway Sky. You’ll now be able to select the quest and embark.
How to beat Tempered Guardian Rathalos
Rathalos has always been one of the more deadly monsters to go up against in theMonster Hunterseries, and the same rings true here. King of a Faraway Sky will take you to the Ruins of Wyveria region, and you can find it in Areas 1 and 6.
Here’s an overview of its part weaknesses and resistances, as well as which weapon damage types are the most effective:
You can absolutely work on breaking its torso with these damage types as well, but you’ll find the most success focusing on the monster’s head and legs in particular. Overall, I’d recommend bringing a Cut or Blunt-type weapon to the fight; Ammo damage performs fine, but it’s a significant step down from the other weapon options.
In addition to that, you’ll also want to bring a weapon with Dragonblight damage for maximum damage output. The other elements will work as well, with the exception of Fireblight, which will be blocked by Rathalos.
All rewards in King of a Faraway Sky

Aside from getting the Rathalos parts to craft new armor, you’ll also be looking to farm the Rusted Weapon Shards, which can be converted to materials used in crating Artian gear.
